For "crimson" or "scarlet", you'll find either the word that Steve gave, (kurenai) or the compound 真紅 (shinku). Those are names, not adjectives.

One example : 紅海 (kôkai), the Red Sea.

The second kanji, , conveys the general meaning of "dark". The Japanese adjective is 暗い (kurai).

Steve, the second word you give must be only Chinese, I can't find it in my kanji dictionary. 敞篷 :wink:

Since gunblade007 asked for Dark and Hood in Chinese, I had Babelfish translate them into traditional Chinese.

Crimson was translated into Japanese.
